I would have left it there, but for one of the comments I got which observed that the judgement was based on not the similarity of the pictures but on [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2012/02/03/photographing-buses/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/07/best-walk-so-far/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/07/best-walk-so-far/#comments Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:25:31 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=2018 Another November the 5th gone and another “quiet” walk around London with the indomitable Old Holborn, Olly Cromwell, Katabasis and others whose presence has been erased by alcohol (remind me if you want) – which was an utter blast.

The Metropolitan police commissioner has admitted that his police sometimes forget the law on photography (not that it’s been a high profile issue or anything), and of course the plastic police have been found to delete [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2010/07/27/you-cant-trust-a-copper/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2010/03/31/they-really-dont-like-photographers-do-they/ http://www.anonymong.org/2010/03/31/they-really-dont-like-photographers-do-they/#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:42:30 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=849 The original of this article is over on Copyright Action, but they seem to be having bandwidth issues so I reproduce it in it’s entirety here.
